As a grandparent who had grandkids duty pretty regularly as they grew up, it was more like “we GET to see the boys overnight! Finally!” Then it is them watching the kids. Never once did it feel like it. Always got more out of it than the parents did without them. I’m pretty sure it’s a universal grandparent thing. We ❤ them! Still do. Just not overnights any longer, ones grown, one is about to leave the nest. Take care, may the sunshine last for you.

Hopefully we can compromise. Here is Canada where i live we won't get to watch the Sewing Bee until the fall or early winter.

Tried to do that but had no idea what you were rwferring to and finally gave up about 7 minutes in and skimmed through transcript. No info there so am going on to another channel. Would help tremendously if you included a list of patterns and companies you talk about.
